The Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill, a unification between Mission Mill Museum and Marion County Historical Society, is a stroll through the history of the Willamette Valley.

Its 5-acre campus is home to the 1841 Jason Lee house (arguably the oldest wooden framed house in Oregon), 1841 Methodist Parsonage, 1847 John Boon home, 1858 Pleasant Grove Church and the 1896 Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, named an American Treasure by the National Park Service.

Since their founding as private non-profit associations, Mission Mill Museum and Marion County Historical Society have established reputations as leaders in the preservation and interpretation of Oregon’s history; a tradition the Willamette Heritage Center proudly carries into the future. The Center’s histories are shared with visitors through daily and group tours, exhibits, living history, hands-on activities, special events, the museum store and rental facilities.
Mission: “To inspire, connect and encourage understanding, the WHC engages community to preserve and share our heritage.”

Purpose: Willamette Heritage Center collects, cares for, interprets, showcases, and promotes understanding of and education about the history of the Willamette Valley region, including Marion County and the greater Salem area. The Center is anchored by the historic early settlement buildings, the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill and its archival and library holdings.
